Give me a rundown of socialized healthcare vs free market healthcare.

Would you not need to wait hours for a doctor with private healthcare should need one or a surgeon? I understand beuracracy stifles the free market causing costs and wait times to increase.

In an ideal situation would the quality of care increase and times be very low.

If the government made apples free, then you'd kill off all the cheap apples, and instead have low quality "free apples", and high quality expensive apples

You can subsidize healthcare and you will get more healthcare, but that doesn't mean it will be price effective, efficient or good quality

You have to let the market find cheaper methods of healthcare, just as we allow apples to be sold at varying prices; treat it as a commodity

euro here. Socialized healthcare is not "free" healthcare, but it provides a basic level of medical care that ensures you don't have to die of preventable issues. It works like our social security system prevents people from starving.

Healthcare providers are not paid by the state or state-run, they are for-profits, but they have to haggle with the state and the health insurance companies over prices.

The thing is, healthcare is not a perfect market. Either you let it run like one, but then people literally die in the streets because they are too poor to pay for treatment, and hospital chains and insurance companies engage in price gouging. Or you run it with an element of centralized planning and limit ROI of insurance companies.

Works for us over here, our life expectancy is higher than in the USA. Child mortality is lower (even though we have the evilz immigration army shitting out child after child) and in general are a failing continent as Bannon would certainly tell you if he was sober.

Instead of bioshit corps spending huge amounts of funding chasing a patent monopoly of a life saving treatment so they can make booku dollars they instead focus on cosmetic treatments and other things that aren't covered by socialized medicine so they can continue making profit for their investors. Private R&D for actual medical treatments gets slashed heavily and goes from being dependent on investors to being dependent on charities and government grants (see charities but slower).

On the plus side all currently known treatment and chemicals becomes MUCH cheaper as the government either bullies corp to sell at determined rate or nationalizes/revokes patient to create generic brands. Overall access to health becomes much higher and in general more country men live longer at the expense of shooting your rate of research in the foot. This can be mitigated if another country and their countrymen becomes the pay pig of R&D and you just steal all their research at WTO prices (see most of Europe post 1950s)

Healthcare is a meme. Its already so watered down that real healthcare starts with the products you eat and exercise. Going to see a doc is like typing your symptoms into google. The guy will give you some pills, tell you take them each day before a meal and after a week you should be good to go!! Just learn about proper nutrition, itll get you farther in life.

This is exactly why boomers are fucking pieces of shit and why the entire west is on a collision course with disaster. You should always put your own interests and you family first, but if you don't mark the health of your nation and the society in which you live as a 3rd priority, it will decay and rot until there is nothing left to pass on to your children but a cultureless, faggot worshiping, 3rd world garbage dump.

The original claim was that only the US is producing new medicines. That claim is false. And yes, a big chunk of investment comes from US (as expected from the world's largest economy) but not exclusive to. Also you keep mixing decade old data in your info-graphics that don't really describe the complexity of the pharma sector. If you truly want to see where innovation stems from, see M&A activities and track corporate VCs from the leading pharma companies and see where the startups get founded and bought.

That decade old data is there to show you how countries like France which once rivaled the US in treatment patent production shredded 90% of its production as R&D was shipped off as a result of their social medicine programs. Now the whole of Europe accounts for half of the US' production despite single countries rivaling the US mere decades prior. Oh and by the way the US was still the world's biggest economy in the 1970s as well strange how well France's pharma sector was back then despite that huh?

>If you truly want to see where innovation stems from, see M&A activities and track corporate VCs from the leading pharma companies and see where the startups get founded and bought.
Ah so now that you've been called out for talking out of your ass with funding numbers now you want to talk about 'innovation as though buzzwords can be measured. Well nut up or shut up. I provided data showing how the US is bearing half the weight of medical research world wide and how in general world wide production of treatment rates has slowed by 50% ever since core Europe backed off for some strange reason. Can you provide any data that shows that "innovation" has increased as a result of socialized programs or are you not contesting the point that social health programs shred R&D and overall development?

Germany just forces you to take a voluntary insurance. Nice newspeak right there.
I pay 94€ each month for having an home office job. If you ever have to go to the hospital you get to wait in line with all the hospital tourists and shitskins.
I don't see how medicare can be free or socialized, when all that means is you being forced into taking insurance.
What a fucking scam.

Swefag here, pay ALOT of taxes but very cheap when I eventually go to the hospital, about 30€ whatever the situation.

Every time I have been there I've had to wait a minimum of 7 hours so I would rather pay anyway. They are also understaffed and makes alot of mistakes, they even forgot me in a corridor when I broke my leg.

Actually the EU had a greater GDP in 1980 than the US (2.9 vs 3.8 trillion USD). Now the US has a greater GDP (IMF). In your data, the chemical patents listed attribute 57% to the US in the 2001-2010s. 2018 comparing investments lowers it to 52% setting a downward trend (and keeping in mind that most data available is on US investments, so transparency isn't great). VC investments in later stage startups in healthcare are at an all time high. Innovation hasn't increased because of socialized programs, but it hasn't changed because of them either. The driver is emerging tech anyways.

All healthcare plans, public or private, are pyramid schemes that benefit the unhealthy. Any form of "healthcare" enables the individuals using them to shirk responsibility of their own health.
The morally justified system would be for everyone to be free to save or not save for their emergencies, and sink or swim based on their own decisions.
